3 Months Old

Kate turned 3 months old on Sunday. I cant believe how fast she growing up already. She is wearing only 3-6 month clothes now and getting 5-6 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours. She is also sleeping through the night most of the time. Our streak is six nights in a row. It was wonderful!
We have had a busy couple of weeks. My mom came down to visit for a few days and we went to the zoo for mother's day. Of course Kate slept through the whole thing. The only thing she got to see were the giraffes and I don't think she really knew what to think of them, she was just wide eyed and smiling. I cant wait until she is old enough that she gets excited to see the animals.
Kate had a good visit with her GG but just as they started to become good buds my mom had to leave. Kate looks forward to seeing her GG very soon. She may actually be spending a week with my mom in July. Jeff is going to Las Vegas for work and I would love to go with him and have a mini vacation but I don't know if I can go a whole week without my miss Kate.
We also got a visit from my dad and Sally on Friday. Kate had a very nice conversation with my dad. It was so cute she just sat and talked with him for quiet some time and she seemed so serious about it. This was the first time Sally has seen Kate. She seemed to like Sally right away as long as she didn't take Kate away from her shows. Kate is so funny about the TV. We have been trying to keep her from watching TV but sometimes we are the only thing standing between her and happiness. Even if she is facing the opposite direction she will turn her head or arch her back so she can see. Needless to say we have been watching a lot of HGTV, its baby safe and entertaining for mom and dad. I'm thinking this may inspire a future career.
Kate also went to her first wedding this past weekend. Jeff's cousin got married and it was a beautiful wedding but I'm not sure if Kate liked it or not. During the ceremony she had to be quiet, she decided that no one tells her what to do so she was talking and when no one talked back she started to cry. Then the reception was a little too much for her. There was too many people to look at and the music was a little loud for her liking. However, she did enjoy dancing with her daddy.Kate has also discovered her feet. She just loves to look at them and kick them. But she hates having shoes on! She will do everything she can to kick them off and when she does finally get them off she is so proud. She has also been more aware of her hands and they always seem to be her mouth. She still has not figured out that if she puts just one or two fingers in her mouth she would be able to suck on them so she tries to put her whole fist or both fists in her mouth. Most of the time she gets frustrated and cries. Today I had to put a bib on her because she was drooling so much that she shirt was all wet. I have a feeling that teeth maybe in her near future. I'm not really looking forward to this because it will take my happy baby and make her cranky. She really is a happy baby. It is so much fun to go in and get her up in the morning because she has the biggest smiles and just laughs and talks to you. It's my favorite part of the day, who knew I could be a morning person.
After nearly three and a half years at the health plex, next Tuesday will be my last day. It just wasn't working out anymore because Jeff had to leave work early to watch Kate so I can go to work. If he just worked an extra hour he would make as much as I do in four hours. I will miss my kids at the plex, some of them have been coming since they were 6 weeks old and the others Ive known them since before they started school. Its weird to think that Ive known them that long. But I love being a stay at home mom and wouldnt trade that for anything. If I do decide to go back to work I will defiantly find something that I can use my degree. Part of me hates that I spent so much time and hard work on something that I havent got to use. But its nice to know its there if and when I need it.
